Sights

Rethymno’s beach is spreading from the centre of the town, along the new part, for 12km, to the east. The beautiful beach of Rethymno, is the main -and sometimes the exclusive- attraction for the visitors. But there are some interesting monuments and sights to visit:

Saint Francisco’s church

Francisco

This Venetian-built church in the type of single-aisled wooden-roofed basilica was the catholic Franciscan order’s monastery. The Corinthian style doorframe of the entrance with its decoration is of particular architectural significance. Inside, the visitors can admire the detailed work of skilled craftsmen. Today it is the temporary home of the Archaeological Museum of Rethymno.
